For the group behind Pontefino Estates, it was the infrastructure, talent availability, and the conducive business environment that prompted them to push through with a much bigger, more ambitious project: developing a masterplanned “green” township that would have practically everything within or near the vicinity.

“It’s about time that Batangas City should have a township. We already have a 16-hectare development in Batangas City which we are continuing to expand,” said Fely T. Ramos, SVP and chief operating officer of Pontefino Estates.
